Psalms 82

1 God stands in the congregation of the mighty;
He judges among the gods. 2 How long will you judge unjustly,
And show partiality to the wicked? Selah 3 Defend the poor and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and needy. 4 Deliver the poor and needy;
Free them from the hand of the wicked. 5 They do not know, nor do they understand;
They walk about in darkness;
All the foundations of the earth are unstable. 6 I said, "You are gods,
And all of you are children of the Most High. 7 But you shall die like men,
And fall like one of the princes." 8 Arise, O God, judge the earth;
For You shall inherit all nations.
